Part 2 – Review Academic Skills for Children

Review academic skills for children

Reviewing academic skills for children is an important step in ensuring their academic success. Here are some key academic skills to review:

Reading: Review your child’s reading skills, including sight word recognition, phonics, fluency, and comprehension. Consider having them read aloud to you or using reading apps or games to practice these skills.
Writing: Review your child’s writing skills, including handwriting, spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. Provide opportunities for them to write, such as journaling or writing letters to family members.
Math: Review your child’s math skills, including basic arithmetic, measurement, time, money, and geometry. Use math games or apps to practice these skills in a fun and engaging way.
Science: Review your child’s knowledge of basic science concepts, such as plants, animals, weather, and the human body. Provide opportunities for hands-on learning, such as experiments or nature walks.
Social studies: Review your child’s knowledge of basic social studies concepts, such as history, geography, and civics. Provide opportunities for learning through books, documentaries, or visits to local historical sites.
Critical thinking: Review your child’s critical thinking skills, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and reasoning. Provide opportunities for them to think critically, such as by asking them open-ended questions or having them solve puzzles.
Technology: Review your child’s technology skills, such as typing, using basic software, and internet safety. Provide opportunities for them to use technology in a safe and responsible manner.

It’s important to remember that every child develops at their own pace and may have different
strengths and weaknesses. Be sure to provide opportunities for your child to practice and develop their skills in a fun and engaging way, and to praise their efforts and progress along the way.
